Gaggenau Oven burning food

When your Gaggenau oven is burning food, the oven may be running too hot or heating incorrectly. The most likely cause is a faulty bake element. During normal operation, the bake element should glow red when heating. Inspect it for holes or blisters, and use a multimeter to check continuity. If it does not have continuity, replace the bake element. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a defective broil element can contribute to an oven temperature problem. If both elements test good, the Gaggenau oven control board may have failed. Its relays control voltage to the bake and broil circuits, and a damaged relay can send power at the wrong time or fail to respond correctly to sensor input. A defective temperature control thermostat is another possibility because it regulates broiler temperature and can cause the oven to run hot. The main control board and oven control board can also prevent proper temperature regulation. Before ordering parts, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Gaggenau range, stove, or oven.

01 - Gaggenau Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
